Our defenses openOur motives are shotThis hush of the heart seems too much to keepIts gathered here and wakening meIts stealing with fear that's reaching inAnd pulling out with every beatResounding loud and clear, but only to meIn this confiding pulseIll find a way to keep it all confinedIts reminding me and always surrounding me

Past pictures will keep meFrom being the man I could beBurn out and I'll burn nowIll carry this burden of memoryA name that lingers on a blank faceCan never fill a heart that's sinking fastAnd hurting to feelIts falling so fast nowTo never rise againWe all burn outWe all rise and fallWe all burn now
